Why does 25% AfD among young men spark a thousand "what is going on with young men?" posts yet Die Linke 34% among young women generates...nothing at all? Yes, young men voting for the radical right is an important phenomenon. But so is young women going rad left at even higher rates.

Watching the post German election leaders roundtable with the 8 year old. He's suggested that once it's obvious a party hasn't got 5% they're forcibly removed from the studio.

Interesting article on the state/private school divide in men's rugby from the BBC, but would be interesting to see how this dynamic plays out on the women's team. My instinct is the women's game is far less private school dominated. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-...

If you want to win an election against far right opposition you need to bring together two groups. The activated liberals outraged by the other side and the more moderate groups who want govt to make their lives less difficult. Not by trying to win the enthusiastic supporters of the other side.

So if anyone wants to know how seriously social media is actually taking the removal of children's accounts, I just tried to report an account to Instagram that belongs to a 9 year old. I know this because it's a classmate of my son....(1/2)

Or what about how the BBC found 7 Premier League clubs have had players or bosses investigated for sexual offences since 2020. Or how the Archbishop of Canterbury just resigned over a huge child abuse cover up in the Church of England. But it's definitely just a "grooming gangs" problem.

Having extracted my undergrad essays from my parents house I am slightly in awe of 21 year old me confidently asserting that "..there is no longer the perception of having to choose between being a successful wife and mother and being successful outside the home..."

Well I've written essays in worse places... Also feel slightly happy that I'm writing about Habermas whilst in ein Kaffeehaus.

Very happy with my Christmas book haul. Even more happy that children were marshalled out of the house to church so I can start reading one in peace.

My 8 year old keeps sending me this Duolingo reminder and it feels quite judgmental given the answer is usually "tidying up after him" or "making him food"

Have been remiss with my running schedule of late so this morning was my first chance to run along the new stretch of riverside path under the new stand at Craven Cottage. An excellent addition to an already excellent stretch of river.

My to do list today involves reading a lot of Hannah Arendt and making a complicated Gantt chart of all my Christmas cooking prep and i think it's fair to say I've never been happier.

My husband has just suggested buying theatre tickets for the day of our wedding anniversary to a play called 'Second Best'. Hoping his Christmas Gift Buying Guide drops soon.

The contributions of all the medical professionals have been exceptional. Just imagine what debates would be like if a) MPs had this much latitude normally to make up their own minds rather than being whipped and b) we had more MPs with expertise in non-political fields prior to entering parliament

The best thing about having friends who do fun, interesting things is you can fill your weekend watching them doing those things. In this case, the wonderful She Shanties singing beneath the Cutty Sark

For those too young to remember John Prescott imagine Angela Rayner except she's male/overweight plus Starmer and Reeves are really good at politics but hate each other + she has to stop them fighting all the time.

C.S. Lewis's feedback on a student he taught feels like absolute life goals: "Perhaps if she had knitted or smoked during tutorials it would have been better - less intense!"
